We report two cases of cryptosporidiosis after CD34-selected PBSCT for lymphoma. While the first patient died of pulmonary cryptosporidiosis, treatment with paromomycin, azithromycin and subcutaneous low-dose rhIL-2 to improve numerical and functional T lymphocyte defects completely eliminated infection in the second patient. We conclude, that the removal of mature T lymphocytes by positive selection of CD34+ cells bears the risk of a delayed immune reconstitution resulting in an increased incidence of severe and sometimes fatal opportunistic infections. IL-2 might be useful in this situation by accelerating immune reconstitution and reducing the danger of opportunistic infections.
我们报告了两例淋巴瘤患者在接受CD34选择的外周血干细胞移植(PBSCT)后发生隐孢子虫病的病例。首例患者死于肺隐孢子虫病,而第二例患者接受了巴龙霉素、阿奇霉素和皮下低剂量重组人白细胞介素-2(rhIL-2)治疗以改善T淋巴细胞数量和功能缺陷,感染被完全清除。我们得出结论,通过对CD34+细胞进行阳性选择去除成熟T淋巴细胞存在免疫重建延迟的风险,这会导致严重且有时致命的机会性感染发生率增加。在这种情况下,白细胞介素-2可能通过加速免疫重建和降低机会性感染的风险而发挥作用。
